Mozilla Firefox add-blocker

[Bathsheba]

Hi all. Following some excellent advice from Ethel I downloaded Firefox add- blocker, but I'm stumped now (no surprises there then).
Nothing seems any different- what does "Whitelist this page" mean? I haven't a clue what to put the settings to.
Hi Chuck, AC , helpfulguy et al xx

[Ethel]

Have you got a hexagonal icon in the bottom right, above the clock, that says ABP?

[Bathsheba]

No ethel- it says Adblock, + if I click on it it brings up a box saying Ad-blockable items this page

[Ethel]

Have you tried right-clicking on it,and then 'enable ad-block'?

[Bathsheba]

Yep- it definitely is enabled. It's mentioning filters, which I don't understand

[Bathsheba]

Oh, + it shows a list of "all blockable items on this page". Should I click on something there?

[Ethel]

It gets easier once you're used to it.

Download this as well, and restart firefox.

That should give you a good start.

[Ethel]

Hmmm - don't know why the link didn't work

Thanks ethel- I'll have another go.
If I just knew what to do from the Tools page I think I would be ok x

[Bathsheba]

There is plenty of info on the net about using it to its full potential.

When you right click on an advert, you should get the option to block it.
Over time, your blacklist builds up, and they are blocked automatically.

thats not at all how I installed it!

I just went to the tools menu on firefox, selected add ons and then searched for add block plus, once it found it click on install add on, once it was installed and firefox had restarted it asked me to subscribe to a ad list, I just clicked on the top one and click ok and it's automatically blocked 95% of ads

Thanks Chuck + Ethel.
